I concur with you about the difficulty of matching all the IP addresses. That should be much easier once we migrate to Java 1.4 (using the NetworkAddress class), but for now it's definitely a problem for complex IP setups. However for simple IP setups I think this change would make life substantially easier. I'm not sure why we'd have to support both forms. From my reading of the RFC, only the bracketed form is strictly correct for IP addresses. How about we make it an optional behavior with a config param? --Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
